Midtjylland suffer big injury blow ahead of Hibs clash as boss sends message to club
There's an issue in a key area of the park for FC Midtjylland as Hibs prepare for Europa League battle Sign up to our Hibs football newsletter Sign up Thank you for signing up! Did you know with a Digital Subscription to Edinburgh News, you can get unlimited access to the website including our premium content, as well as benefiting from fewer ads, loyalty rewards and much more. Learn More Sorry, there seem to be some issues. Please try again later. Submitting... FC Midtjylland have suffered a major injury blow ahead of their Europa League clash with Hibs - as their head coach sends a clear continental message. The Danes will play hosts next week in the first leg of the second qualifying round, before action at Easter Road a week later. Hibs will face Bolton Wanderers this weekend as they continue to ramp up for the game while Midtjylland's Superliga campaign starts versus Odense this weekend. Advertisement Hide Ad Advertisement Hide Ad Ahead of that, they have confirmed key central defender Ousmane Diao has suffered a foot injury that rules him out of both legs. The Senegalese star played 42 times last campaign and scored an impressive seven goals with two assists from the back, but won't be kitted out to take on Hibs. FC Midtjylland injury blow ahead of Hibs A statement reads: 'Ousmane Diao has suffered an injury during training on his holiday in his home country, and examinations have subsequently shown that it is a fracture in the foot, which has required surgery, which has gone according to plan. 'The injury means Diao has not yet been in action in pre-season and will miss the first few months of the new season. He is expected to be ready after the international break in September. We wish Diao a good rehabilitation and we look forward to seeing him back on the field.' Meanwhile, head coach Thomas Thomasberg has fired a message to Hibs that his side are preparing for matches in Europe beyond the summer after impressive pre season performances against Slovan Bratislava and Dynamo Kyiv. He said: 'We had some good training sessions and also two matches that resulted in two wins against Dynamo Kyiv and Slovan Bratislava. We actually think that many of the things we had trained and talked about were also carried out. Advertisement Hide Ad Advertisement Hide Ad What FC Midtjylland have said about Hibs clash "When you spend so many hours together on a trip (to Austria) like this, you also get shaken up even more – and that applies to both us in the coaching staff, but also the playing squad. So in every way, I think it was a great trip, which we ended with a good victory in Bratislava. We really want to play these two games a week, because the European midweek games are just great matches where we get the opportunity to be matched against teams from other countries. 'It is our clear goal that this is something that will continue for the rest of the autumn. I think we are in a good place to be able to handle that game schedule, but I think we will only really get the answer when the tournaments have started. You have to know that every point counts, we've seen that for ourselves the last two years. 'We crossed the finish line the first full season I was here, and last year we were one or two points short of it. So every time we go out on the field – including next Sunday – it has an impact on the overall result. When you've experienced the difference in emotions, depending on whether you end up with gold or silver, it definitely does something to my own hunger, and I also have the feeling that the players feel the same way. That it's even greater in relation to the fact that we're the ones who are going to win gold again."

China dad berated for locking naked son in iron cage, claims pen used to prevent wandering
A father in China who has been criticised for locking his naked toddler son in an iron cage claims the pen was purely used to prevent the boy from wandering. On June 16, several naked toddlers were spotted on a red tricycle parked by the roadside in Hainan province, southern China, and one of them was inside an iron cage. The person recording the video said: 'This poor kid. How could the parents be so cruel? The sun is so strong, he could get sunburned.' Worried about possible abuse or child trafficking, passers-by alerted the police. Diao told the police his caged toddler son was naked so that he would not suffer from the heat. Photo: Douyin On June 18, the police confirmed that the tricycle belonged to a man surnamed Diao from Henan province in central China, who is the father of the children.

Como stuns title-chasing Napoli
Napoli's Giacomo Raspadori in action with Como's Ivan Smolcic and Gabriel Strefezza during their Serie A match at Stadio Giuseppe Sinigaglia, Como on February 23. PHOTO: REUTERS Napoli missed the chance to return to the top of Serie A in a stunning 2-1 loss to Como at the Stadio Giuseppe Sinigaglia on Sunday, as the title-chasing visitors' winless streak extended to four matches. Napoli suffered their first defeat in 11 Serie A matches and remain second with 56 points from 26 games, one point behind reigning champions Inter Milan. Promoted Como are 13th on 28 points. Napoli got off to a nightmare start when Kosovan centre back Amir Rrahmani gifted the lead to Como in the seventh minute by sending Matteo Politano's throw-in into his own net, with goalkeeper Alex Meret well off his line, to the despair of manager Antonio Conte. Ten minutes later, forward Giacomo Raspadori pounced on some sloppy defending to slot the ball past Como keeper Jean Butez and level things up for Napoli. However, winger Assane Diao netted a 77th-minute winner for Como with a stunning finish after picking up midfielder Nico Paz's precise pass. The 19-year-old Diao has now scored in three straight Serie A games. "I'm enjoying myself, every day even in training, and I think this also shows on the pitch. I have to thank the team, the coach and the club for everything they are giving me," Como match-winner Diao told DAZN. "I have to be free on the pitch, I feel a lot of the confidence that (Como head coach Cesc) Fabregas gives me and this allows me to be free on the pitch." Apart from the own-goal blunder, Napoli were the better side with 60% possession in the opening half and looked more threatening. But Como were far superior after the break and their efforts were not in vain as they clinched their second Serie A victory over Napoli, with the first coming in 1952. Scott McTominay nearly put Napoli ahead in the second half but Butez was in place to deny the midfielder. Rrahmani nearly snatched what would have been a crucial point for Napoli in the dying minutes of the game but his shot went just wide. "It's definitely a setback that hurts because of the way it came, because on a mental level we showed cracks, just like in the last three games where we always got caught up," Conte said. "I think the boys are really giving their best but we need to make a path and give time to grow, not only from a technical-tactical point of view but also in terms of mentality. "Then we've been playing since the beginning of the year with this pressure, which fortunately we brought on ourselves: being there at the top of the table or at least being close. "This was absolutely not expected. Now we have to face it in the best way, trying to analyse why in the second half the others showed more nastiness, they won all the duels, they had more hunger and more desire." Napoli next host Inter, who beat Genoa 1-0 at home on Saturday, in a blockbuster top-of-the-table clash at the Stadio Diego Armando Maradona next Saturday. Inter take top spot after 1-0 win over Genoa A goal from Lautaro Martinez was enough to earn Inter Milan a 1-0 win over Genoa at the San Siro on Saturday and send the home side provisionally top of the Serie A standings. The win moved Inter to 57 points, one ahead of Napoli who are away to Como on Sunday, while Genoa are 12th on 30 points. Inter came into the game on the back of a disappointing run, with one win in their last four matches and, with a top-of-the-table clash with Napoli coming up in a week's time, were badly in need of a confidence boost. The hosts laid siege to the Genoa half in the opening 10 minutes without ever really creating a clear-cut chance. Inter could find no way through, their every foray into the Genoa area blocked by a determined and disciplined defence and neither keeper was troubled in an opening half short on entertainment. Joaquin Correa, making just his second start of the campaign, limped off at the break forcing Inter into a change, with Mehdi Taremi coming on for the second half. Inter were already without the injured Marcus Thuram and were sorely missing their top scorer in the league this season.

Inter Misses Chance to Go Top of Serie A after Losing at Juventus in Derby d'Italia
Defending champion Inter Milan missed its chance to move top of Serie A on Sunday after losing 1-0 at Juventus, which boosted its hopes of a top-four finish. Francisco Conceição scored the only goal in the 74th minute of a high-tempo Derby d'Italia, or Italy's derby as matches between the two fierce rivals have come to be known, The Associated Press reported. Inter wasted a number of chances and remained two points behind league leader Napoli, which was held to a 2-2 draw at Lazio on Saturday. Juventus is fourth. 'There's certainly great regret and disappointment — clearly we should have been better at finishing and scoring goals," Inter coach Simone Inzaghi said. "Because after a first half like that we should have gone in at the break ahead. "Then we didn't approach the second half like the first ... we need to work even harder because what we're doing isn't enough for what we want to achieve.' Inter visits Napoli in a potential title-deciding match in two weeks. 'We'll try to do our best, or at least better than tonight,' Inzaghi said. Inter had the better of the chances in the first half, with Lautaro Martinez uncharacteristically blazing over the bar from close range when completely unmarked. However, visiting goalkeeper Yann Sommer had to make the most important saves. Nerazzurri defender Denzel Dumfries also hit the post twice. But it was Juventus which broke the deadlock with a fantastic assist from new signing Randal Kolo Muani. The France forward, who had scored five goals in three league matches for Juventus, gathered the ball on the edge of the area and made his way through a crowd of players before tripping. The ball came to Conceição, who drove it into the bottom left corner. Juventus almost doubled its lead two minutes later but Dumfries did brilliantly to clear Teun Koopmeiners' effort off the line. The match had also been dubbed 'the Thuram derby' with Marcus Thuram playing for Inter and younger brother Khéphren for Juventus. However, Marcus was recovering from an ankle problem and was only brought on in the 62nd minute, 15 minutes before Khéphren was substituted off. Their dad, Lilian Thuram — who starred as a defender for Juventus and won the World Cup with France in 1998 — was watching from the stands. Teenage hero Teenager Assane Diao could very well prove to be Como's savior. The 19-year-old scored again on Sunday to set relegation-threatened Como on its way to a 2-0 win at Fiorentina. It was Diao's fourth goal in his seven matches since joining from Real Betis last month and the win lifted Cesc Fàbregas' team five points above the drop zone. Fiorentina was four points below Juventus. Como broke the deadlock four minutes before halftime with a rapid counterattack. A Fiorentina free kick was headed out of the area when Diao gathered the ball deep inside his own half and raced forward to beat home goalkeeper David De Gea one-on-one. Nico Paz doubled Como's lead in the 66th with a shot that took a slight deflection to curl in off the top of the left post. Game-changing moment Roma was without injured star forward Paulo Dybala but managed to win 1-0 at 10-man Parma. The match changed in the 29th minute when teenage Parma defender Giovanni Leoni fouled Roma's Matías Soulé. The referee initially awarded a penalty to the visitors and showed Leoni a yellow card. However, the video assistant referee confirmed that contact was outside the area so the penalty was rescinded but Leoni's card was changed to a red as the 18-year-old had prevented a clear scoring opportunity. To make matters worse for Parma, Soulé dinked the resulting free kick over the wall and into the top right corner. Roma was nine points below the top four, while Parma remained a point from safety. Empoli occupies that last place of safety despite losing 3-0 at Udinese for its eighth defeat in its past 10 matches. Alessandro Nesta returned as coach of bottom club Monza last week — two months after he was fired — and managed to end his team's four-match losing streak with a 0-0 draw against Lecce.
